So I'll admit this write-up is a bit long overdue, but I'll make sure to keep it short & sweet. Look no further when it comes to additional storage during long road hauls - Yakima has you covered. The Skybox 16 Carbonite held up amazingly during our 21 hour road trip from California to Texas, ...read moreand was a huge help considering all our Lexus CT200h was jam packed with two pets - the cargo area was a bit cramped with our cat's carrying crate and litter box. We were able to fit everything we couldn't carry in our car in the additional storage, and it handled like a champ with some of the heavy crosswinds driving through Arizona. Would definitely buy other products from Yakima without question!

I've had the Carbonite 16 box for a couple years now. Each year we take a couple 1500 mile trips with this thing on our Outback. The noise is only noticeable if we open the moonroof shade. With the shade closed, we cannot notice the box on the top of the car. It holds lots of stuff. It got us throug...read moreh many trips with 2 small children and all the required accessories. We went through numerous rainstorms and nothing, absolutely nothing, ever got wet. That was amazing to me as when we are driving 75 mph it is the equivalent of a low level hurricane when it rains. We also never had any issues with anything freezing up. Great design.

We did have a hinge distort that made it hard to close, but a quick call to Yakima and they confirmed if the lid snaps shut everything is secure. They also sent a replacement hinge out immediately.

I use a thin yoga mat in the bottom to help keep things from rubbing the base. I also sprung for the cargo net Yakima sells. The net helps keeps small loads secure and it also helps compress some bulky items like pillows that we always end up trying to wedge in to the cargo box.

I've had my Yakima Skybox for over a year now and I love it. I drive a 2015 Subaru Legacy and it fits perfect on my car! I keep it on all year long and don't see a necessity to take it off! Great box of to haul just about everything. Easy to install!

Very good product. Barely knew it was there, even driving down the interstate at 80mph. It's very well designed. I recently made a 2000mi. road trip and had zero issues. It was easily able to fit everything my family needed for a two week vacation. Even drove through a few rainstorms along the w...read moreay and everything remained dry. Highly recommend this box.

I have this box a 2015 Grand Cherokee with round bars. The website specs said it would not clear the rear hatch but it does with room to spare. Box is easy on and off vehicle. Works perfectly. My favorite feature is that it opens really wide so you can fit big duffle bags in it. And also opening...read more from both sides. SKS are really easy to instal. Don't notice any road noise, decrease MPG by like a mile. Perfect size box for a couple plus more. Absolutely LOVE it. Forget other boxes, this is the one.

I've used a Yakima SkyBox 16 for over 4 years and it still functions as well as the day I bought it. The open and closing mechanism never fails and the lid stiffeners make it easy to open and close the box with one hand.

Overall, for the price you pay you get a top quality box that will last you a very long time.

We got our Skybox 16 initially to use for going to dog shows with all of our gear (both kids are dog handlers). Right away, we realized we could use it for all kinds of other trips where we have bulky, lower weight items. The Skybox 16 fit great on our Audi Q7 factory racks and in less than a year...read more, we've done many trips to Tahoe, Carmel, Bodega Bay, Jenner, Napa, and a bunch of other, more local destinations. After putting it on a couple of times, you get the hang of it and it takes roughly 10 min to mount to the vehicle and less than five to take it off.

No noticeable impact on MPG, a small amount of noise on the highway, but nothing major. The Skybox is also easy to access from both sides, so you can remove single items without having to unpack the whole thing. It's a great product!

Bought this to hold our gear for my Toyota Highlander. Freed up space so we can travel with our three Pups to the mountains.

I bought my Rocket Box 16 in July 2015. I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe and when the family and I go on trips the poor Tahoe is stuffed with little room left. The biggest issue was my youngest daughters jogging stroller. We went on a trip and was over having to load and unload the truck. So we went to the...read more local ski shop and bought the Skybox. I have not regretted it since. The stroller fits with room for a whole lot more. It made traveling easier. Instead of having to fold up the third row seating to play tetris with all the luggage, I would only have to fold up one side so I can now separate the kids. One in the middle row and one in the third row. No fighting anymore and that in itself was worth buying the Skybox. Now fast forward June 2016. We have not used the Skybox since last summer. It has stayed mounted on top of the Tahoe. Not sure if it was the heat or what but the rear hinge got distorted. The Skybox still works its just a little finicky to close. Sent a quick email to Yakima and Albert dropped a replacement in the mail and emailed me a conformation. I would recommend Yakima 100% to anyone.
